Ange is a dead man walking. It is hugely disappointing for Australia, because after the way he had the Roar playing a few seasons back, many considered in Australia that we finally had a world class coach and that when he did eventually take control of the national team, it would herald our next glory years.

Unfortunately he has been a failure as the national coach despite the Asian Cup. He is steadfast in his own belief, which all the great managers are, but he isn't backing it up with the Australian team.

Now to also be fair, this is an Australia team that could best be compared to the early 90s teams. There are a handful of decent players in there, but this isn't a team of quality.

In our qualifying game against Uruguay in 2005.
We had
Bresciano, Cahill & Aloisi on the bench 

There is not an Australian in the top 500 players in the world in reality at present

Sam Kerr!

NEWS:

Stepping down in November irrespective of outcome will not coach at the World Cup next year.

As for coaches, there is one saying that is true.

Either you leave a hero, or stick around long enough to become a villain.

Just a few points
The A-League was considered that it wouldn't be far off Championship level when it was formed.
Now, at very best is would be equivalent to League One (Division 3) in England.

I just done a quick check on FIFA 18 as well and Mooy is the only outfield player for Australia that is ranked as a 'gold card'
Now that doesn't mean much to those that don't play, but it just means that based on their statistical rating of players, (where 99 is the highest number), he s the only outfield player ranked above 75. (Also 2 Keepers are ranked the same as him.. 77).

Now just to put in perspective. There are almost 1750 players in the world ranked at 75 or above and about 900 of them are ranked higher than Mooy's 77.

Now this doesn't 'prove' anything, except that EA would put more time, money and resources into their analytics than probably any other organisation in the world, so it would be considered currently the most accurate 'rating' system for players out there, though it is of course not a guaranteed 'ranking'.

OMG....
Trinidad & Tobago just scored againt USA to go 1-0 up.
USA are still through, but if Honduras or Panama go a goal up, USA would be our opposition to get to the World Cup

Ans I did not read your comment correctly Thry...
AMAZING
He should be sacked immediately.

We can't have a different coach after the last qualifying that is ridiculous.

USA are OUT of the World Cup
Amazing really and FIFA will be pissed.

We are playing Honduras in what will likely be one of the most spiteful games Australia have played in.
Honduras were filthy going into the last world cup and during it. We can expect a lot of diving and more than the occasional filthy tackle in these games
